Key Features
- Flexible 22AWG Silicone Wire — All Team Corally balance leads are constructed with premium 22AWG zero-loss silicone wire capable of passing higher charging currents safely and efficiently, which means faster, more reliable charging without heat build-up or voltage drop during the charging cycle.
- Male 6S XH Connector — The male connector is designed to interface with standard 6S XH charger ports, making it compatible with virtually all modern multi-cell LiPo chargers available to RC hobbyists in the UK and worldwide.
- Female 3S XH Connector — The female connector matches 3S XH battery connectors, providing secure, reliable contact with your 3S LiPo batteries to ensure balanced charging across all three cells during each charge cycle.
- Protective Braided Sleeve — All wires are bundled together in a flexible braided sleeve that protects the silicone wires from abrasion, damage, and tangling, extending the working life of the balancer lead and keeping your charging station neat and organised.
- 30cm Length — The approximately 30 centimetre length provides ample reach between your charger and battery, allowing flexible positioning without forcing unnecessary strain on connectors or wires, whether your charger is positioned on a shelf, workbench, or charging station.
- Zero-Loss Wire Technology — The zero-loss silicone construction minimises electrical resistance during charging, meaning your battery cells charge more evenly and completely, reducing the risk of cell imbalance and extending the overall lifespan of your expensive LiPo batteries.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a balancer lead and why do I need one for my RC battery? — A balancer lead connects directly to the balance port on your LiPo battery and to your charger's balance charging connector. During charging, it allows the charger to monitor and balance the voltage across each individual cell (1, 2, and 3) in your 3S LiPo battery. This is essential because if cells become unbalanced during use or storage, it can reduce battery performance, shorten lifespan, and in extreme cases create safety hazards. Using a balancer lead during every charge cycle keeps all three cells at equal voltage, maximising your battery's performance and longevity, which is crucial whether you're running an RC car, RC buggy, or any other electric RC model in the UK.
- Is the Corally Balancer Lead 3S suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. This balancer lead is straightforward to use — simply connect it to your 3S LiPo battery's balance port and to your charger's 6S balance charging port, and let the charger handle the balancing automatically. It requires no special knowledge or adjustment, making it perfect for newcomers to the RC hobby who are learning proper battery care practices.
- What chargers are compatible with this balancer lead? — This lead is compatible with any modern charger that features a 6S XH balance connector, which includes most multi-cell LiPo chargers available in the UK market today. Whether you're using a professional racing charger or a general-purpose hobby charger, as long as it has a 6S XH balance port, this lead will work perfectly.
- Will this balancer lead work with my 3S LiPo battery? — Yes, the Corally C-50201 is specifically designed for 3S LiPo batteries. The female 3S XH connector plugs directly into your battery's balance port, while the male 6S XH connector plugs into your charger's balance connector. It's the ideal bridge between 3S battery packs and 6S-equipped chargers.
- What makes Team Corally balancer leads better than generic alternatives? — Team Corally uses premium 22AWG silicone wire with zero-loss technology, providing superior current-carrying capacity and minimal electrical resistance compared to cheaper alternatives. The braided protective sleeve and high-quality XH connectors ensure durability and reliability through countless charge cycles. This quality construction protects your expensive battery investment and delivers peace of mind every time you charge.
- How long is the balancer lead and is that long enough? — The Corally Balancer Lead 3S measures approximately 30 centimetres in length, which provides ample reach for most charging setups without requiring the lead to stretch excessively or create tangled cables. This length is ideal for benchtop charging stations, workshop setups, and portable charging configurations used by RC hobbyists across the UK.
